About the Artist

Originally from Kent, I now live in the beautiful south west of France, in the Bearn. I went to Medway College of Art and Design in the 70's and have always painted , although other work has taken over rather.After 30 years of self employment as a draughtsperson and Singing Plague Victim, I am now retired and am enjoying the time I can now spend painting. I am exploring different media but at present am playing with acrylics , discovering new techniques and having a ball ! I work in a tiny studio at home, with cracked and crumbling stone walls and a cold concrete floor. I am constantly interrupted by my husband and two cats ( the former with coffee and snacks and the latter which like to sit on my paintings )
